Well, actually a show can't be broadcast from a mythical city,
but even if it could, no pretence is made that PHC is broadcast
from Lake Wobegon.  It in fact is staged in St. Paul, Minnesota,
generally in the World Theater, but more recently elsewhere.
It used to wander around the twin cities, but when they went
national, the main wanderings have been to distant cities.
  Lake Wobegon is gk's home town.  PHC brings you the news from
Lake Wobegon, but it is, as gk said the other week, remote
journalism (and "sometimes the sources dry up".  I think one of
the best lines of all times followed:  "A lesser man would be
tempted to make something up.")
  In any case, count my vote for keeping net.wobegon pure, and if
it's the little group that time forgot, then at least it's above
average.
